🏕️📚 WOW—what an amazing night at Camp Read-A-Lot! 📚🏕️

Our hearts are full after seeing our school and community come together to celebrate reading, families, and FUN! We had an incredible turnout with 70+ students joining us for a night filled with literacy activities, books, laughter, and memories. ❤️

A HUGE thank you to our families, staff, volunteers, and community members who showed up and helped make the evening so special. Seeing so many families spending time together and celebrating literacy is exactly what nights like this are all about!

We are so thankful for a community that continues to show up for our kids. 🐾📖

What an AWESOME night to be a Cougar! 💙

Our 4th graders had an exciting, hands-on learning experience this week as they learned about wind turbines and renewable energy with Kim and Bailey from the Purdue Extension Center
These experiences help our students connect what they learn in the classroom to the real world, encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, teamwork, and a love of learning.
At Roachdale, we believe in providing Every Student, Every Day, Whatever It Takes to help our students learn, grow, and discover new possibilities

Respect at Roachdale Elementary!

Our Roachdale students spent this week learning all about RESPECT! They talked about using good manners, being a good friend, showing kindness, and treating others the way they would like to be treated.
We are proud of our students for learning how small acts of respect and kindness can make a BIG difference in our school community!

Keep showing respect, Cougars!

Jump Rope for Heart will be held on Friday, March 20, 2026! We are excited to once again support the American Heart Association and make this another great year for our school community.

As many of you know, we have several past and present students with heart concerns, and this cause is very close to our hearts. I am asking each student to try to raise $25.00. I understand that this may feel like a big ask, but this fundraiser is very important to me and to many families in our school. My father passed away from a heart attack eight years ago, and my mom had quadruple bypass surgery five years ago right before Christmas. Supporting heart health truly means a lot to my family.

Our highest fundraising total so far has been $7,940.00, and this year the American Heart Association has challenged Roachdale Elementary to raise $6,000.00. I would love for us to beat our record! If we raise OVER $7,000.00, I will let one fifth grader and our top two fundraisers hit Mrs. Campbell and me in the face with a pie!

Thank you so much for your support and generosity. Together, we can make a difference!

Sincerely,
Mr. McMurtry
